Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 341

Xue Lang said with a smile: "I don't think the saint will come so early, so he also brought some food to make breakfast for the two of us."

Take out the food box and open it. There is a roast goose, a plate of pork skin jelly, two or three vegetarian dishes, and a pile of vinegared peanuts. The staple food is steamed buns.

Princess Pingyang smiled and said: "I expected that Youyang would definitely bring some food, as expected. Why didn't they bring buns?"

Xue Lang said: "There are so many people in Furong Garden today, I'm afraid they will bump into some lady."

Raising dogs in the city is naturally different from raising dogs in the country.There are few people in the country, so dogs can be released freely, and it’s okay to run around, and they won’t scare people.It's different in the city, there are many little ladies raised in deep boudoirs, even if Xue Lang is confident that buns won't bite, there are also those who just see dogs and their legs go limp, if they bump into someone, it's not beautiful .Rather than letting the buns be wronged, it's better to run and play freely in the spacious yard at home.

The two sat and ate together. After breakfast, Princess Pingyang glanced at Chuxue who was accompanying her. Chuxue immediately turned around and got out of the way. After a while, a basin of clear water was brought in. The water was soaked with mulberry leaves, shepherd's purse flowers, herbs, Willow etc.

The water basin was placed at Xue Lang's feet. Xue Lang looked at it inexplicably, watching Princess Pingyang take out a handkerchief from the armband and put it in the basin. Then, he looked up at Xue Lang and smiled slightly.

Xue Lang's heart was shaken by the laughter, and he also smirked: "Jianling, you are so pretty!"

Princess Pingyang rolled his eyes at him, and said with a smile: "This is clear water just brought from the water's edge, sir, it's time for you!"

As he said, he picked up the wet towel in the water, washed his face first, then pulled his hands into the basin, took the soaked branches and leaves in the water, gently scrubbed his hands, and said in harmony: "May I Your lord is free from all diseases, can't afford diseases, and is in good health!"

Xue Lang's heart became hot, and he couldn't help but changed his hand and held Princess Pingyang's hand in the water. There seemed to be a thousand words in his heart, but when he was about to say it, he couldn't say a word, he just looked at him and smiled silly.

Princess Pingyang took a look at him, and gently broke free her hand, saying: "Don't move!"

Xue Lang replied honestly, watching her wash his hands, and lightly dusted him with wet willow branches and mulberry leaves. When he was about to take off his boots, Xue Lang held him down: " No! I will do it myself!"

"Lang Jun..."

Before he finished speaking, Xue Lang interrupted: "I can't bear it!"

Princess Pingyang stared at him, saw that his face was firm, and there was no possibility of negotiation, so she had to compromise and get up, and asked the maid to wash him, but Xue Lang directly refused, and took the soaked branches in the water and washed them uncomfortably. Lehu, with a happy face.

Princess Pingyang smiled slightly, stared at him for a while, and took out a basket from under the short table. In the basket were a pair of brand new black boots, new white footwear and so on.After Xue Lang finished washing, he ordered someone to bring a dry cloth towel to wipe the water off his feet, and put on new socks and boots.

Xue Lang put on the new boots, stood up and took two steps, feeling that they fit perfectly, said with a smile, "Thank you."

"You and me, why bother to say thank you!"

Princess Pingyang gave him a white look, and Xue Lang raised his hand with a smile: "Okay, I was wrong, I won't talk about it in the future!"

Only then did Princess Pingyang get angry, and said to Mu Xue, "Come in."

Xue Lang was puzzled, when he saw two middle-aged men and women dressed as servants walk in, saluting respectfully: "Slaves pay homage to master!"

Princess Pingyang's expression was flat, as if there was a sense of majesty born on the ground, and said: "Excuse me. Come and meet your master!"

The middle-aged men and women saluted Xue Lang respectfully: "This old slave greets the master!"

Xue Lang looked at Princess Pingyang puzzled. Princess Pingyang handed over two body deeds and said: "In the last years of Emperor Yang of the previous dynasty, I lived in seclusion in Chang'an and took the opportunity to recruit many talents. These two are the former minister Guo Rong's family. Servant, you were rescued by me by chance, you have some talents, and you should be able to help you manage the director. Give them a name!"

As a painstaking name picker, Xue Lang felt pain when he heard the name pick. After thinking about it, he asked, "What was your original name?"

The male servant said: "Master, this old slave used to be named Guo Si, this is the Rong family of this old slave."

Xue Lang said: "Since there was a name before, there is no need to change the name, and change the surname to Xue Cheng."

The male servant was overjoyed, and replied respectfully: "Here, thank you for the name, master."

Princess Pingyang said: "Xue Si is a solid and prudent person, and his actions are quite organized. The Rong family's conduct is clean and neat, and the housekeeper of the inner house and the outer courtyard is competent!"

Xue Lang didn't thump at all, and simply agreed: "Okay! Listen to you!"

Ah Chen is a capable person, but he is lacking in method and thoughtfulness, lacks initiative, and is too timid.In the past, it was fine when Xue Lang didn't return to Chang'an, but now that Xue Lang has returned to Chang'an, Ah Chen's talent is not enough to hold up the position of steward outside Xue's residence.

Xue Lang naturally believed the person recommended by Princess Pingyang.From Princess Pingyang's perspective of knowing and employing people, she said that she is competent, so naturally there is no problem.Xue Lang trusted her!

Ask Changjian to call Wanfu, and send Xue Si and his wife back to the mansion first, while Xue Lang stays in Princess Pingyang's shelter and chats with her.

Xue Lang asked curiously: "Jianling, have you ever lived in seclusion in Chang'an?"

Princess Pingyang said: "After all, I am a married woman, so there is no reason to live in my mother's family forever! Because of the reputation of the sisters in the clan, I can't stay in Taiyuan, so I live in seclusion in Chang'an City. By chance, I have attracted a lot of talents."

Xue Lang nodded, the time of death he was told was like the sword of Damocles hanging over Princess Pingyang's head.No one can face death calmly, let alone Princess Pingyang when she was young and young, it was the best time of her life, she didn't have the temperament of passively waiting for death, how could she be willing to die!

Consciously or unconsciously, it should be possible to gather all kinds of talents and accumulate capital to resist fate.Comparing his heart to himself, if it was Xue Lang, he would try his best to manage his power.

The two were talking, Mu Xue came in and reported: "My lady, Princess Changsha and Princess Xiangyang are here!"

"welcome!"

After a while, the two princesses came in.Princess Changsha saw Xue Lang at a glance, covered her mouth and smiled and said: "Seeing Sanniang here, I want to talk about it, but I don't want to ruin Sanniang's good deed, sister, why don't we turn around?"

Princess Changsha was young, with a lively temperament and a slightly tricky tongue. When she came in to see Xue Lang, she joked.Xue Lang was immediately blushed.

Princess Xiangyang turned her smiling eyes to the blushing Xue Lang and the generous Princess Pingyang, stretched out her hand to pat her sister, and said with a smile, "You are the one who talks a lot. This is Xue Lang, right?"

Xue Lang bowed and saluted: "Chen Xue Lang has seen the princess!"

Princess Xiangyang smiled and said: "Why are you so alien? Although you and Pingyang are not married yet, your title has already been decided. Just follow Pingyang and call me sister."

Princess Pingyang said: "This is my second sister, Princess Xiangyang, and fifth sister, Princess Changsha. Sister and fifth sister call him Dalang."

Say hello to each other.Xue Lang was embarrassed to keep the conversation between the three sisters, and escaped after finding an excuse. It was really hard to bear Princess Changsha's playful eyes, and Xue Lang was actually quite thin-skinned.

However, as expected of March [-]rd, all the female relatives came out.Du Fu and Du Zimei had the honor to watch the famous Yang sisters during the Shangsi Festival on March [-]. Xue Lang did not see the Yang sisters, but was watched by the princesses of the Li royal family. He can only say that "Chang'an Waterside has many beautiful people". .

"Is Xue Lang Xue Shilang in front?"

Xue Lang ran out from Princess Pingyang's obstacle, took Changjian for a stroll, and after walking a few steps, he was stopped by someone, but he turned around to see a beautiful young woman dressed as a woman. Judging by her attire, she should be an adult. The nobles of the Tang Dynasty, surrounded by servants like a cloud, shouted and hugged each other.

Xue Lang bowed his head politely, and said: "I'm Xue Lang, I wonder who my wife is?"

The beautiful young woman smiled and said: "I am Princess Qi. Speaking of which, I should call Xue Shilang my brother-in-law."
